Introduction

Yakuza promises to drop you in the middle of a crime drama and Sega's rendition of the notorious society is, if nothing else, an immersive one that also promises a lot of back alley street brawling. Kiryū Kazuma is the main character that has hailed from the very first game instalment. He lost his parents at a young age and was raised in the Sunflower Orphanage where he met Nishiki Akira and Yumi Sawamura. After graduating from junior high school, he and Nishiki were introduced into the Dojima Family, Tojo Clan's most powerful subsidiary. As time flows to 1995, the 27 years old Kiryū had everything going well for him and had planned on starting his own subsidiary group until an event changed his life and was imprisoned for ten years. After his release in December 2005, Kiryū returned to his home town Kamurocho for answers and was told to search for Yumi, and yet, a mysterious young girl appears before him during a wake of an incident and came to rely on him.

Yakuza Ishin aka Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! is the latest spin-off released for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan on February 22, 2014. Additionally, a free app for the Playstation Vita was also available as a tie-in.
